Recuerdos: Nostalgia on the Periphery

November 9 - December 18
Co-curated by Victoria DeCuir and Adriana Martinez

Opening Reception Tues, 11/9, 4:30-6:30 pm, UNT Art Gallery

Participating artist Lupita Murillo Tinnen will talk about her work in CVAD's History of Photography class prior to the reception in Art Room 223, starting at 3:30.

The term "recuerdo" may refer both to an experienced memory and to an object that conjures nostalgia and commemorates nationality and heritage. The artists in this exhibition incorporate elements of nostalgia, both public and private, where cultural commonalities exist. Their works attempt to capture a heritage on the periphery of everyday existence. This exhibition is made possible in part by grants from the UNT Fine Arts Series and Texas Commission on the Arts.
